John Molitor, PhD, is an Associate Professor in the Department of Biostatistics at Oregon State University's School of Nutrition and Public Health. He specializes in Bayesian methods, latent variable modeling, and spatial modeling applied to environmental health and epidemiology. His research focuses on air pollution exposure's impact on maternal and child health outcomes, including preterm birth, gestational diabetes, and postpartum depression.
Dr. Molitor's work integrates large-scale datasets and advanced statistical techniques to address environmental inequities and policy impacts. Notable contributions include analyzing the Aliso Canyon gas blowout disaster's health effects and evaluating California's goods movement policies' air quality improvements. He currently oversees research funded by grants exploring temperature exposure and maternal morbidity in Southern California.

His recent studies highlight connections between urban green spaces and reduced preterm birth risks, as well as historical redlining's role in gestational diabetes disparities. Ongoing projects focus on multi-pollutant exposure profiles and vulnerable population identification.
Dr. Molitor advises MPH students but is not currently accepting new PhD candidates. His lab collaborates with public health agencies to translate research into policy actionable insights.
